    About

    Overview

    Publishing has changed dramatically over the last few decades. It’s no longer just about books and print but digital, social media, video, audio podcasts and animation.

    Our MA Publishing Media includes future-facing aspects of the industry as well as its heritage. You’ll cover storytelling across different types of media and channels. With our employability focus, you’ll tackle the real challenges facing the industry such as AI, digital and multi-platform publishing innovations.

    From academic to trade, we cover all publishing sectors from a commercial and a creative perspective. Our expert teaching team have first-hand experience of working in the industry and are known for their high-quality research.

    Our Publishing Advisory Board includes the largest publishing houses and several independent publishers. They ensure our curriculum reflects current and future practice, as well as offering scholarships, internships and volunteering opportunities. Oxford is a global centre for the publishing industry, so you’re well-placed for work experience in Oxford, London and further afield.
